< Salme 24 >

1 (Af David. En salme.) HERRENs er Jorden og dens Fylde, Jorderig og de, som bor derpå;
A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and all that dwell in it.
2 thi han har grundlagt den på Have, grundfæstet den på Strømme.
He has founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.
3 Hvo kan gå op på HERRENs Bjerg, og hvo kan stå på hans hellige Sted?
Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?
4 Den med skyldfri Hænder og Hjertet rent, som ikke sætter sin Hu til Løgn og ikke sværger falsk;
He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.
5 han får Velsignelse fra HERREN, Retfærdighed fra sin Frelses Gud.
He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.
6 Så er den Slægt, som spørger efter ham, som søger dit Åsyn, Jakobs Gud! (Sela)
This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Pause)
7 Løft eders Hoveder, I Porte, løft jer, I ældgamle Døre, at Ærens Konge kan drage ind!
Lift up your gates, you princes, and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.
8 Hvo er den Ærens Konge? HERREN, stærk og vældig, HERREN, vældig i Krig!
Who is this king of Glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Løft eders Hoveder, I Porte, løft jer, I ældgamle Døre, at Ærens Konge kan drage ind!
Lift up your gates, you princes; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.
10 Hvo er han, den Ærens Konge? HERREN, Hærskarers Herre, han er Ærens Konge! (Sela)
Who is this king of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is this king of glory.
